Why cant Apple blacklist or bar an Macbook Pro

Why does Apple still allow stolen Macbook Pro to be repair under warrenty or apple protection for the criminal?

If I tell you it was stolen at gun point, how would you protect it?
Don't carry it around advertising the fact you have valuables.
It could have been a diamond ring, or a gold chain or anything else perceived as value.
Heck people get robbed of their laundry detergent because it's so easily sold back to crooked store owners or the poor for crack.
Most anyone with big enough nerve to rob you of your machine is certainly not going to turn it on so it can be tracked.
It will sit someplace for quite some time as it cools, it's battery will likely die and it will be bundled up and shipped with other stolen goods to a foreign country, the storage drive wiped and sold locally.
Even if you saw it on the Internet, you wouldn't want to spend the time and money to get it back, or really want it back.
Sorry you got robbed, but it really can happen to anyone and there is little that can be done to prevent it actually unless you hire bodyguards and travel in a bullet proof car and all that jazz.

    Why cant I download HD Movies onto Macbook pro retina?

    Hello there, Whitea08sd.
    Something you might want to verify if HD content is available in your country's iTunes Store. The following Knowledge Base article has a great chart that outlines availability of products:

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    If the computer shipped with Snow Leopard then you would have received an install DVD for iLife with the computer.

    ... why cant apple at least inform previous owner? 
    But here is Apples Support Article on...
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    And the way it works is:
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro?  I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

    I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks.  I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV.  I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook.  Will this work?  It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work.  Thank you!

    no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
    take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

  • Can Iuse non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?

    Can I use a non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?
    Special connections?

    Only thing you need is a minidisplayport-to-? adapter ... plugs into Thunderbolt port.  ? is replaced by VGA or HDMI or DVI.
    I have used high-quality brand names (LG, Samsung) that were picked because I liked the display and have had no issues.
    I will add that some threads speak of issues with some Dell monitors that work spottily if at all.  But only from reading other threads.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .
